## What the Brand Says

> - Variety: Pink Bourbon - Country: Colombia - Region: Santa Maria, Huila - Process: Washed - Altitude: 1800 MASL - Producer: José Norbey Vargas - Farm: Finca La Hormiga - Roast Level: Light In the cup We taste juicy citric acidity like limes and lemons and grapefruit, with a bright green attribute that reminds us of freshly squeezed limes. This coffee is sparkling with a clean finish. Clean Funky Terroir Experimental About The Producer José grew up learning coffee from his father. They began cultivating coffee nine years ago, dividing up tasks to manage their production efficiently. José now works daily with his father and brother to produce incredibly specialty coffee. Processing José’s process begins with selective harvesting of ripe cherries, followed by floating and sorting. After depulping, the parchment ferments for 20 hours in tanks and is then washed and dried in a marquesina for 10 to 12 days. Variety Pink Bourbon is a variety primarily grown in Huila. Though newer than other varietals, it has quickly grown in popularity for its bright, sweet, and aromatic profiles. It is now known to be an Ethiopian Landrace. Transparency We Paid $16.50 USD/KG Roasted Costs $22.47 USD/KG This is our first time working with José's coffee, and one we're very excited to feature for it's very expressive, juicy and bright profile. This coffee reminds us of white grapes, juicy limes with a sparkling grapefruit like acidity.
